Extreme tiredness in UK workplaces causing employees to nap on the job

British employees have resorted to napping at work due to extreme tiredness, a worrying new report had found.

Health and wellbeing provider Westfield Health has found over one in ten (11%) working brits have purposefully taken a nap at work, and over a third (34%) say their mental wellbeing is reduced due to tiredness and fatigue.

Almost half of those polled (46%) said they regularly turn up to their jobs feeling too tired to work and more than a third (37%) say they tend to be more forgetful and make errors because of tiredness.

Richard Holmes, Director of Wellbeing at Westfield Health, said it is concerning to see how fatigue is impacting the working population. “It’s not just being overworked and lack of sleep that can cause us to feel fatigued,” he added.
